SCOOTER BATTERIES a few tips

People are using more and more scooter batteries

It must be noticeable to most people that we are seen more and more old and disabled people driving around our towns on their mobility scooter. These small machines are extremely powerful little machines and need to be driven by powerful and reliable batteries.

There are many makes of batteries out there fromcheap batteries to mobility batteries that can be bought online with a next day delivery. It is important to do some research before rushing out and buying a new battery. Batteries come in many different references and it is important that you get the correct one. When you bought the scooter as new (or second-hand) it would have had a correct battery on board and you should replace it with the same specifications as the battery that is on the machine now, For example if you have a 34 amp AGM scooter battery on the machine ,then this is what you should buy to replace the old battery.

You should also measure your old battery because some batteries have the same ampage but different sizes. One that springs to mind is the 50 amp battery, this battery comes out in two sizes, so if you just order a 50amp battery you may be sent the wrong one.

The other consideration is do you need AGM or GEL ?. This is simple because my advice is to keep the exact same type as you have fitted at the moment. It will tell you on the old battery what type your scooter battery is. The main reason not to change the type , is that the chargers will be different , and could cause problems damaging your new scooter batteries.

If you are buying an AGM battery please make sure that it is suitable for driving a mobility vehicle, there are two types one is less powerful and used for things like UPS emergency lighting systems, this type is usually a VRLA battery, but is often sold as a scooter battery. The battery will work but not for long, and is one of the most common complaints from scooter owners that buy the wrong battery online.
